Korean names are composed of 3 syllables, which are derived from the 3 Chinese characters used for writing the names. The first syllable stands for the family name while the last 2 syllabes indicate the given name. The family name always comes first, followed by the given name; for example, Kim (family name), Tae-yeon (given name).
